La Boite’s 2011 season is certainly shaping up to be a very strong set of productions, each of them bringing something very different to the audience. In this respect alone, Artistic Director David Berthold is to be congratulated for the choices made. Their latest production, Edward Gant’s Amazing Feats of Loneliness, is one that firmly places the audience into an emotional zone where you’re entirely sure if you should be laughing, or crying, or feeling repulsed at what has just occurred on stage. The show swings wildly about, from concept to concept, that it feels more like a compressed version of a season of The Mighty Boosh or The League of Gentlemen than a traditional theatrical production examining the themes of sadness and the loss that lives in all of us. And so while it isn’t a completely successful production because of this sheer variety, full marks for giving it a go.
